A New Era?

Well, we have here a new chapter in American history with our first African American leader. Some are surprised, others not so much. What remains to be seen however, is exactly what I'm wondering: what will Obama do to reverse the economic rockslide incurred by previous American "leaders" (if you want to use that term).

I'm somewhat impressed with the lack of attention to ethnicity in this election, as both McCain and Obama rellied on the same platform (that of economics, and how to "fix it").

With all the promises however such as tax cuts and "relief", another old unanswered promise comes to mind: "read my lips, no more taxes". Capice?
